Standpoint Research initiates coverage on DeVry (NYSE: DV) with a Buy. PT $45.00.

Analyst, Ronnie Moas, said, "DV passes our fundamental and subjective overlays. We may be a little bit early here, but as we see with the homebuilders (up 50% in the last six months), share prices move before fundamentals do. DV is the best risk-adjusted name in this out-of-favor for-profit education industry. In fact, DV is the best performing stock on the five-year chart versus its competitors at +28%."

"DV management is cutting costs, buying back shares and growing overseas in order to offset weakness at Carrington and DeVry. Plans are to open nine new campuses this year. DV ahas $300 mln and no debt. The shares are trading at or near the bottom of their historical trading range."
